Drunk Benidorm Brits get seagull and chihuahua tattoos in tribute to 'kidnapped' dog

A pair of drunken British holidaymakers in Benidorm have paid tribute to a doomed dog "snatched" by a seagull - by getting tattoos.

We told last week how Becca Hill was left distraught after the bird swooped down to her back garden, "kidnapping" her chihuahua Gizmo.

The story since received national fame - but sadly the tiny pooch has not yet been found.

Almost a week after the incident, Natalie Moran and Eve Hanson - who are on a girls' holiday in the Spanish resort, decided to get tattoos of the animals to honour the bizarre story, as Devon Live reports.

After a boozy session, the pals headed to a local ink parlour to make the memory last a lifetime.

Speaking to LADbible, Natalie said: "Me and my friend Eve are currently on holiday in Benidorm.

"All we've seen all over Facebook is memes and a story of a seagull picking up a chihuahua.

"After about 11 pints each sitting at the bar all day, we then decided to join in on the hype and go that bit extra and got the tattoos.

"We got them on our ankles. I got the chihuahua, Eve got the seagull.

"It will be an unforgettable holiday and we have the tattoos to prove it."

Back in Devon, Gizmo's owner Becca issued a desperate plea for any information regarding the dog's whereabouts.

She said: "It carried Gizmo a fair way as we couldn't see him anymore. I have no idea if he was dropped or where he is now."

"Please, please, please, anyone finds a chihuahua he's mine, a seagull took him from my garden.

"Have a really upset six-year-old missing her dog."

Speaking on the incident, the RSPCA added: "Our hearts go out to Gizmo's family and we hope he is found soon and is OK.

"This must be extremely upsetting for the dog's owner.

"Fortunately these types of incidents are very rare and not typical gull behaviour."
